With Kate still out of town (Bea Benaderet is not in this episode due to illness), Uncle Joe (Edgar Buchanan) takes charge of the Shady Rest Hotel. The first order of business is to remove Mr. Clayton (Vaughn Taylor), an elderly guest who has stayed at the hotel for ages but has never paid a bill. Unfortunately, Clayton incurs the sympathy of the townsfolk, who angrily turn against Joe--who, as a result, may very well leave Hooterville for good! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
